I really need some encouraging words right now lol. I got laid off yesterday on my maternity leave. I am really sad although I did see it coming. My company wasn’t doing well, and got bought out by a larger company in September and the cuts started right away. I am in a group message with my coworkers, and yesterday afternoon they said they were all laid off, that our position was eliminated. An hour later I got the phone call from HR telling me the same.

I am reallly sad. I am suffering from a little bit off ppd and was looking forward to going back to work. I don’t even know what to do about daycare. My kids were supposed to start April 1st but what if I don’t have a job by then, or what if I can’t find a job close enough to daycare? Then I have to find a new day care and hope they have spots for my babies. I’m also worried about starting a new job because my old job was really understanding when I had to take off or leave early when my older son was sick. Now if I start a new job I know I can’t call out or leave early until I’ve been there a while, which is hard with 2 little kids.

I haven’t even told my husband yet. I am going to tell him later today. He is going to bug out. I wanted to enjoy the rest of my maternity leave with my babies but now I am so stressed out 😔😔
